Run With Us - HOKA Evo Mafate 2's - Shoe Stores Near Me - Pasadena, California

If you need running shoes, and you're in Pasadena, go to Run with Us. These guys know their stuff and they have a great selection. The store is staffed with elite runners and trainers and they spend as much time with you as you need. All are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They even let you take the shoes out for a run around the block. The store carries all the top running brands with the notable exception of Nike (I believe this is a silent and intentional protest). They also have a large selection of running apparel. Street parking is poor so park in back or around the corner on Locust. read more

I have to echo what the other posters have said. They take running seriously at Run With Us. They don't just want to sell you a pair of shoes, they want to sell you the RIGHT pair of shoes. Which is nice and refreshing and so different from a box store mentality. I went in to get new running shoes but I had no idea what I wanted or needed. I only knew that I am an under-pronator. So I needed something with LESS arch support. And the gal pulled out lots of suggestions and explained each one and why she thought they would work. I really liked the Mizunos but they didn't fit my feet right. I loved the Brooks but I'm not ready to go minimalist. So I settled on good old Asics. I love them. Thank you Run With Us for steering me in the right direction. read more

My brother took me to here when i told him about getting running shoes. There is a lot of hype over Roshee runs, and Nike flex i'm not saying that they are bad shoes but "Run with us" actually caters to your needs. (In this case my knees... Jk) My brother and I have flat feet, so they offer running shoes with arch support. I'm not the type of person to run very often or very far, but the day I picked up a pair of asics gel-kayano 20 I took it to the gym to try out the differences. My time and over all distance was better, not saying much since I did a mile in 15 minutes oppose to .85 The girl who helped me out had me walk around the store with my bare feet to check my strides in my walk as well as the way my feet step on flat ground. She brought out a few pairs for me to try on, I walked around the store with them as she tells me about their weekly group runs. I settled on my Asics after half an hour of debating. $160 shoes, but i'll tell ya its like walking on clouds. The gel provides enough resistance to give me an arch support at the same time each step feels like a miniature tempurpedic mattress for my toes. I'm gellin' like a Melon right now. You should totally check it out, if your on your feet all day these shoes could definitely change your life. Can't say much for the look though, i'm used to rockin' pumas, supras, and creative recs. read more

Excellent service and expertise in shoe fit. Always a good idea to get fit for running shoes, whether you're a novice or a runner. I chose to purchase through the store even though my size needed to be ordered. One star off since the shoes I went with were about $35 less expensive online compared to in store (on sale online but full price in store). All in all though, I'd go back and would highly recommend them. read more

I love this place and its service! Always attentive, knowledgeable and HELPFUL!

Very happy to support this shop! My wife and I went the other day. The staff person patiently helped us each find a pair of shoes that met our needs. Very fine experience! Let's keep supporting these excellent local businesses! read more

I was looking for a store that could help me purchase a good quality running shoe after looking at my gait and discussing my running needs. That's what I got here. The associate was friendly and asked me what my needs were. He watched me walk a couple of times and then measured my foot. He brought me three different brands of shoes and I tried on all of them, walking around the store with each. I also asked them for information on running clubs and coaches and they were able to provide that in a very handy format. Overall the store was exactly what I was looking for. The price was just a tiny bit higher than you might find elsewhere, but the service and information was definitely worth it. read more

I love coming here to shop for my running shoes.....why? Here are a list of reasons: 1. The staff is super friendly, detail oriented. You walk in, know what price range you want, they will find out what you need, and will take the time to help you from the beginning till the end of your purchase. 2. The staff will do a fitting for you: what is that? They will have you do a few things, follow their instructions and they can find out what type of feet you have and what type of shoes you need! i.e. flat feet, high arch.....this determines what type of shoe with the appropriate support for you. 3. Try it on! You get to try out 1 pair, 2, or 3, or 4 or 5 or even like me, I tried 6 pairs! I even got to go outside and do a few laps. The sales person suggested I try them all out and see what feels the "best", what other shoe place will let you run out before you buy? 4. Selection of shoes are great and they do a good job having all the specialized brands that you may or may not see at a regular shoe store. 5. Price is decent, now remember, every sport requires the right gear, even though most of the high end shoes will cost you over $100.00+, you do want to be able to maintain your body to keep up with your runs right? I support this local store and I highly recommend anyone going here for a good fit and finding the right pair of running shoes. read more

The owner replied to my concern/complain. Overall this business goes above and beyond when helping their costumers find the right shoe and equipment. read more

Had an incredibly positive experience. First, temperature taken, hands were sanitized :-). Second, I was immediately offered help, but without pressure, and in fact was allowed to browse most the time by myself, which I prefer. But when I had questions, staff was helpful and quite knowledgeable, offering personal opinions and thoughtful responses. read more

Cesar and Rosario, most helpful staff. Owner, very friendly, offers free water to customers, especially on the way out, and has informative stories to tell about running. Use $20 Groupon for $40 value. read more

Run With Us - They also have a place to donate gently worn, used or new shoes to help raise funds for their organization! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Pasadena, California

My girlfriend needed new running shoes and since we are planning on running a half marathon in a few months we decided it was time to get her some higher quality running shoes. The place is a little hard to find and there is very little parking in the lot, but once you get inside the store is decently large and there were plenty of employees to help us out. The employee who helped us out where very knowledgeable and thoughtful when it came to selecting what kind of shoe would be best given arch support needed and the kind of distance we will be running. Very happy with our experience here and in a couple months I'll be back for a pair of my own! read more

Ok I can't lie. I felt nervous going to Run With Us for the first time. I didn't know if I was "legit" enough to enter a boutique store for real runners, but they were so welcoming and I'm so glad I went in! The salesman helped me find the right fit, talked about my fitness goals, and watched my gait to help me find the perfect pair of shoes. They'll even let you take them on a test run around the block. They also have a great return policy if the ones you bring home don't work out for you. I'll be back! read more

Michelle was great! She helped us with a foot scan, several shoes & inserts to try on. She was very helpful & focused on customer service. I'll definitely be back to purchase yet another comfortable shoe. Thank you for going above & beyond. read more

This place was recommended by my son's running coach. Wide selection of running shoes. Very knowledgeable staff. The staff make sure the shoes that you wear are the best for you. Small parking space in the back. read more

Jose helped me pick a great pair of shoes! He educated me on my pressure points and suggested certain shoes that would help with my gait and knee pain. I went on a 3.5 mile run and no knee pain :). This was my first time to the store and I will exclusively be coming here for my running shoes in the future! read more

Bought shoes on 1/19/18. In 3 weeks, One shoe developed a hole on the heel inside and a tear on the top edging. Manager blamed my running style and refused to even issue store credit. He said it was "no problem" losing a customer and getting a crap review on Yelp. So here it is. I have never encountered this attitude from a retailer. Oh, by the way. I haven't run at all in these shoes. Just walked. I'd worn the same brand - ordered on line -.for 20 years. No problem. Decided to try to support local business. Picked the wrong one. Glad this guy doesn't manage my business. Motto must be "The Customer Is Always Wrong." I will do what I can to steer people away from this store. All this over a $140 pair of "trail shoes." read more

Had to UPdate this review and UPgrade the stars. 1. Peter (owner) contacted me after my previous review and displayed amazing customer service by inquiring about my visit. He made me feel appreciated as a customer and reassured me that he would handle that 'bad employee' situation. 2. I went back this week to buy MORE shoes. Ray helped me and I have no complaints. The 'bad employee' wasn't there andI left with another new pair of shoes; this time for work (medical center appropriate). I've now recommended this store to many friends and coworkers. I will definitely be back...VERY soon. read more

Amazing service, great local running store for all levels and most important to get the best shoe for you.

The most amazing running shoe store! They stand behind their products and are super supportive in the shopping experience. They check out your feet, gate and your ankles, make suggestions and you will try on 5-6 shoes. I've never asked the price because I didn't want the price to make my choice for me. All the running shoes I have picked were with in a reasonable price range for good sneakers. I recommend it to everyone and if you are going to get into running this is your place. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have take 2nd place in my very first 5k! Time after time, this place is the Best Running Store! So helpful in the shoe choice and understanding what your feet need. After completing my first marathon I didn't even lose a toe nail! I think it's because I had the best running shoe advice I could get! Happy Running! read more

The boy needed a new pair of shoes to train for his tri. Thank goodness Run With Us was super close. PARKING: Private section directly behind the store..tandem spots though! SERVICE: Our rep was personable, helpful, and easy to talk to. She suggested multiple pairs of shoes for him. They clearly know their stuff here. Of course, everyone should do their own research and not trust reps 100%, but it seems like they genuinely care about their clients. Love it! PRICES: I guess they're a bit steep, but these shoes have shelf space in this small-ish store for a reason. Everyone is used to seeing $~80 thanks to Nike, but it doesn't mean that those specific pairs are good for your foot. I'd definitely come back to buy my own pair! read more

Always a good experience at Run With Us. Rosario was the employee who helped me this visit. She had a pleasant demeanor, and was patient and kind while I tried on at least 5 pairs of shoes. She answered all of my questions - all of her answers being very informative, and she gave input wherever needed. I spoke to her about my shoe and injury history, and from there, nearly an hour later, she was able to help me pick something that I'm fairly happy with (Brooks Launch 6). Will be coming back for the other pair. Thanks Rosario. read more

Ray and the guys that work here are the best of the best! I've been shopping here for over 20 years and wouldn't buy from anyone else ever! They watch you walk in your shoes and can guide you to the most appropriate pair of sneakers for your feet! I get them 10 stars out of 5! read more

always the best shoe fitting , sent my better half and was so surprised to get exactly what was needed

My husband just bought some new running shoes and he is absolutely in love with them! Thank you to Jose for helping us out and providing different options for us! read more

I'm impressed. So for starters- I do not run long distance!! I recently fully tore my ATFL in my ankle, so I needed shoes that were gonna help me with the swelling, pain, comfort, and stability of my ankle. The shoes I own do not help much with my ankle injury. After talking to a few people, every single one of them told me to go to Run With Us in Pasadena. I came in here, and I was helped right away. Once I showed the guy my shoe size & my injury, he came out with quite a few boxes of shoes that i've been looking for. I ended up going with the Brooks Addiction 14, and I have never been happier. Overall, I was in & out of that store within 20 minutes. I will be back! read more

Jose was incredibly helpful to my wife and I. If you need a specialist for running or walking shoes, this is the place to go! read more

I went with my brother today to get him new shoes because he recently started feeling pain in his arch and we went in and Peter was so kind and helpful in being able to measure his feet, take into account where the pain was coming from, and provide him with different options of shoes and inserts to help ease the pain. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth it. read more

Great customer service! Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. Great selection of good quality shoes. Thank you to Peter for helping me find the right shoes and insoles. He showed me different options as well and explained what would work best for me. read more

Always great service. Jose (chepe) was extremely knowledgeable and I felt that he had my best interest in mind. He did not try to sell me the most expensive shoe he wanted me to be comfortable with my purchase and what was best for my foot type. I will continue coming here for my running shoes. read more

Sale associates told me to wear a size 11. My foot is a size 9. My feet were flopping around in the shoes. She told me to get them. Poor selection of sizes. read more

With my daughter being in track and field, there are always items she's asking me get her relating to the sport. Items such as new track spikes, KT tape, foam rollers, icy hot, etc. I heard about Run With Us from a nephew of mine and I thought that my daughter and I should check it out ourselves. I enjoy the kind service this store provides and the workers know exactly what they're talking about! They're always very welcoming and I go here every time for whatever my daughter might need. read more

I been coming to this store for years since my running journey and been pleased with their services. Today I took my running shoes in for them to tell if it is time for new ones. Art is extremely helpful and explained to me why my old shoes are no longer good for my running since I have couple races coming up. He is very knowledgeable with the shoes and immediately recognized what I like or what my feet like. We tried on different shoes and I was able go find something similar to my old old NB for support and it feels lighter which I like. I also replaced my much needed compression socks. Got a pair of light weight running shorts. All good! ART is the best!!!! read more

Jose was the best ever!! I used to come to get track shoes here when I was in high school. Such a great experience and I got the perfect shoes for me. Will never shop for running shoes anywhere else! read more

In January we bought two pairs of ASICS shoes from Run with us. Three months later one pair developed holes and was clearly defective. To submit a warranty form with ASICS, I needed a receipt. I called on Friday and got Armand who said he would look it up. Several hours later, I hadn't heard back but by end of business day he called me back and said they were so busy he simply didn't have time but Michelle would do it the following day. 11:30 AM on Saturday Michelle called me and said she would look up the receipt and call me back. She sent the receipt via text and was so gracious. Great service and it pays to purchase from a specialty store with great service. Michelle and Armand are the best!! read more
